Before you say boycott ana you have to get your objectives clear.

Do you mean boycott the organization called the ANA or boycott the convention? There is a huge difference between boycotting the organization ANA and boycotting the convention.

The convention is mainly supported by a hosting city and hundreds of volunteers who  work night and day to make the convention happen. It's not some money hungry people or power hungry people that the convention is about. The convention is about normal people from the hosting city who want to be a good host to other compatriots from all over the US. Although the details of the convention such as percentage distribution is sort of convoluted, the convention is more about the volunteers who work night and day to make such a large scale event happen. It's not a joke to have over 60 sports team participate on a voluntary basis and to have the whole event organized on voluntary basis.

If you say boycott the convention you're mostly misinformed about the whole deal. If you say boycott the ana, it is understandable but the city based organization has already taken the responsibility and I think everyone should help to make it a success instead of badmouthing it from afar without even getting involved. I don't see anything good about badmouthing volunteers. Do you?

Obviously since there is a lot of money involved people will be cynical but people will not be willing to understand that there is costs involved and it's not cheap to rent a basketball court or a hotel hall in addition to many small details that needs to be purchased. On top of that most cynical people believe that few people actually pocket the money which cannot really happen because everything is accounted for and any money that is made goes to the organization's account from where they plan future activities which can be for the local community or for some other cause.

anyways don't hate the players, hate the game
